Paid Registrations
3X Your Forum's Revenue
Paid Upgrades During Registration / Gift Upgrades
What is it?
How many paid subscriptions are you losing each month because your users don't know the benefits of purchasing a user upgrade? Do they even know they can upgrade?
Would it hurt to make more $$$ each month?
Introducing Paid Registrations, an absolute must-have for forums that offer paid subscriptions.
Once installed, the registration flow will go from:
- User visits the registration page
- User fills the registration form and submits
- Registration is complete
- User visits the registration page
- Account types are presented elegantly and user chooses one (screenshot)
- If a paid user upgrade is selected
- User is redirected to the payment page
- After payment is complete, the user is redirected to the registration form
- If no upgrade is selected, the user is redirected to the registration form
- If a paid user upgrade is selected
- Registration is complete
Can you use this addon to make your forum "paid only"?
- Yes! This can easily be configured.
You have full control over which user upgrades are presented, display order, color, the amount per row, etc...
It integrates with the payment profiles you already have, so setup is a breeze.
We currently support PayPal and Stripe, though more payment providers will be added in the future.
How does it benefit you?
- 3X your forum's revenue
- Ability to require payment for registration
- Higher membership control
- Display and compare user upgrade perks in an elegant way
- Built-in Coupon/Promo Code System
- Accept custom payment amounts (user enters their own amount)
- Gift Upgrades
- Extend/Renew Upgrades
- Expiry Notifications/Reminders
- Quick and easy setup
